Hubby had his colonoscopy late this morning.
Everything went great! The doc said that he has no evidence of inflammation or infection now, and although there are pockets, he is not on any restrictions diet wise for the diverticulosis! Yay!
Needless to say, Hubby is thrilled!
However, he does indeed have an infection in his toe, where the bee stung him. So, he is on antibiotics for the next 10 days.
However, this afternoon at the doctors office we got bad news. Our internist, had passed away. She had a bone marrow transplant last year, for bone cancer, and was due back shortly to the office. Even though, it had been more than a year, she contracted a virus, RSV. For most of us, it would be a cold, but it was life threatening for her. It had looked like she had licked it, and was getting PT to get ready to come home, when the virus flared again, and her body could take no more.
Rest in peace, Maggie, you were a healer, quick with a smile and a laugh, and the best and most caring doctor I ever had.
Last night, Hammer and I went back to see the Transformers movie again, alone. I had missed some parts taking Pumpkin to the bathroom, and Hammer just really wanted to see it again.
Since he and Fuzzy are leaving Sunday for a week of camping, I am going to try to do something alone and special with each one this week. This was Hammer's special thing. He loves Transformers, and he reads fanfic websites, and an online role playing game based on the them every day.
I stand by my first review of the movie. Worth every dime. Amazing effects, great story. Something for everyone. Go see it.
It looks like Fuzzy has survived the bee sting without any side effects. It has been 48 hours... we should be safe now. Knock wood... thank goodness.
My cold is mostly gone, except for that little bit of phlegm that annoys you every time you try to lay down to rest. Then, I get a tickle and I cough. It always seems to hang on that way longer in the summer. Ick.
My body is still out of whack from being sick though, and it has put me back a little bit. I feel fatigued and out of sorts again, and I hate that.
be well,
Dawn

Rejoicing with you that the colonoscopy went well and nothing bad in it, yay! for veggies and fruits for your hubby!!!
I am sure sorry your internist passed on for something that took advantage of her lowered immune system. That really is horrid.
I hope you get to feeling better soon!

I am glad that Hubby had good news.Hope you feel better soon too
Caitlin has seen Transformers twice too and just carries on about how good it is.
I don't think it would be my cup of tea.
I read a great book the other day. Last of the Honky Tonk Angels by Melissa Moyers

I'm glad the colonoscopy went well, and I hope the infection in his toe clears up soon. I am so sorry about your internist. That is so sad that she caught that infection and her body was just too weak to fight it. That's pretty much what happened to Eler Beth's school principal a couple of years ago.
Lori
Glad everything went well and hubby got some meds for the toe infection. My grandson had RSV when he was a little baby so sorry for her. You went to see it again now I know I'll have to watch it sometime which my grandson was older. More campers leaving everybody has kids camping this year. Thats sweet that you wanna do something with each one alone. Hope you get so rest.
Take care, Chrissie
Im glad ur husband is fine and im so sorry for your lost!

Happy to hear the colonoscopy went well !
What a wonderful idea it is to do something special with each child. I should try that.
big hugs,
Ellen
Pleased to hear of the favourable result from your hubby's colonoscopy, Dawn. Hope you recover quickly yourself :-)
How sad about your doctor! Good news about your hubby! Good deal for him! Except of course the bee sting. Have fun with your kids this week!
Traci
I hope your feeling back to normal soon. LInda

Katie
Glad to hear you all are mostly getting straight with the health problems. I am going to go see Transformers. I think it looks like a great movie for kids and I a just a real big one. My Regards, Bill.
Glad hubby's doctor visit went well!!! Sorry to hear about the intern. That is so sad.... Hope the antibiotics work fast on that toe.

Ah yesssss the good ol colonoscopy... so glad he was able to get it done the first time... you see my wife hasta have em done every 5 years since her mom died of it and her grampa got by with a bag for the last 15 years of his life. A "Go Lightly Cocktail" and the runs once every 5 years aint such a bad deal when you look at the options eh? This last time though she wasn't "cleaned out" enough so after doing exam #1 on Monday could only do broth for the day then hit the Go Lightly again and try exam #2 Wednesday. She was a tad weak after the ordeal but all went well with her... as it did thankfully with hubby.
BUMMER about your intern... life's too short. I was just thinking that whilst walking through a cemetery to get back here afta lunch. All them folks had lives and important stuff too and in the end... it ended. The ultimate "time out" eh?
So enjoy life and live in the moment no matta the pain or drain.
Thanks for the movie review, my daughter wants to see Transformers real bad but we haven't found the time.
Shesh I get awfully wordy sume-times. Outa here.
Michael
I am so glad you are feeling better Dawn. Am I too old to see transformers?
